The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is pleased to announce a team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®) will be evaluating CSPD from Monday, March 8, 2021, to Tuesday, March 9, 2021. During their virtual assessment, the CALEA assessors will examine all aspects of the Colorado Springs Police Department's policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services to determine if the CSPD continues to meet CALEA's state-of-the-art standards for law enforcement agencies as part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation — a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence.
The CSPD voluntarily participates in this process by complying with approximately 168 standards established by the commission in order to gain accredited status. The standards cover virtually all areas of the department's operations and administration, including patrol, investigations, communications, finance, recruiting, personnel, and training. The CSPD first became accredited by the commission in 1991, and has maintained this status continuously since that date.
